More than 5,300 teachers left South Carolina’s public schools ahead of this upcoming school year. This is a nationwide crisis -- my plan would close the teacher wage gap and make it possible for educators to stay in their jobs.https://nbcnews.to/2Jsd5QH

How many retired? How many moved to different states? How many found they didn't fit as teachers? How many changed professions? Numbers sound scary, but paint an incomplete picture.

I retired as soon as I could, mostly because of the lack of support and kids/parents with no discipline and unreasonable “busy work”
